Freud argued that Moses had been an Atenist priest forced to leave Egypt with his followers after Akhenaten's death. Freud argued that Akhenaten was striving to promote monotheism, something that the biblical Moses was able to achieve

According to your Wikipedia link... even Freud said he was a priest never a pharaoh...

You two could take a lesson from St. Paul
"As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith. The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm."
--1Timothy 1:3-7

Always a good ending
the only real connection I can see is the name Thutmose, in which the ending of said name is relatively close to the name Moses... Other then that.. all I see is speculation....
A different perspective if you will... albeit far fetched

If you read about Kabbalah you would probably never shun the Torah again.
Kabbalah hits a very pure chord in my heart.

I've read about Kabbalah and it didn't change my mind about the obvious issues in the OT...
The god of the OT is a false God, likely a fallen angel posing as the true God to those who didn't know any better... especially in ancient times, anything could be mistaken as God.
This is one of the reasons Jesus came.... to set things straight

all the more reason to read about it. It breaks you out of you rut of literal interpretation and formula.
